The word '短気' (tanki) is a noun meaning 'short temper' or 'impatience.' It is formed from two kanji characters: '短' (tan), meaning 'short,' and '気' (ki), meaning 'spirit,' 'temper,' or 'mood.' When combined, they literally mean 'short spirit' or 'short temper.' The 'な' (na) is a adjectival particle, and '人' (hito) means 'person,' so '短気な人' translates to 'a short-tempered person' or 'a person with a short fuse.' This term has been in use in Japanese for a considerable period, with its components rooted in classical Chinese and Japanese vocabulary.
